If Mom is on Medicaid for Longterm care you really do nothing. Medicaid and Moms Social Security and any pension she receives will go to her care. Medicare will continue to be her primary insurance. What is not covered by Medicare will be covered by Medicaid. Moms vision, dental and prescriptions will be covered by Medicaid. A podiatrist should see Mom regularly and Medicare pays for that. You will get no statements from Medicaid showing what they covered because they pay all balances. The facility has to except what Medicare and Medicaid pay. Once a year you will get a renewal form from Medicaid. You just fill out the info and send back.

I am assuming you are the POA?
What did the Nursing Home Administration tell you to do about Aunt's SS and Medicaid coming to them rather than to her accounts?

I would speak with administration today if you have no understanding how this will go.

Medicaid automatically goes to the facility. For them to get the SS and pension, I as POA had to sign a paper saying it was OK for them to become payees. Once that was done, they received the SS and pension directly. Never hit Moms acct.
